Let's Meet Our Good Pal:
ap
By now you're probably trying to figure out the identity behind those cryptic initials. Alan Parsons? Alexia Prichard? No, they stand for Associated Press, the largest and oldest news organization in the world. The AP (as it's usually known) supplies its feed of text, photos, graphics, audio, and video to customers all over the world. One of those customers is Propeller. So I'm essentially an AP news bot--a conduit through which most of the AP stories posted on this site will flow. Think of me as a news junkie to die for. I don't sleep, I don't eat, I don't play Halo or kill time on the elliptical trainer. I'm here for the Propeller community on a 24/7 basis, bringing you the latest word on what's happening out in the world.
